1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

In the course of examining the various factors which affect the metabolism of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA, we examined the role of intron sequences and splice sites in determining the subcellular distribution of the RNA. Using in situ hybridization, we demonstrated that in the absence of Rev, unspliced RNA generated with an HIV-1 env expression construct displayed discrete localization in the nucleus, coincident with the location of the gene and not associated with SC35-containing nuclear speckles. Expression of Rev resulted in a disperse signal for the unspliced RNA throughout both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Subsequent fractionation of the nucleus revealed that the majority of unspliced viral RNA within the nucleus is associated with the nuclear matrix and that upon expression of Rev, a small proportion of the unspliced RNA is found within the nucleoplasm. Mutations which altered splice site utilization did not alter the sequestration of unspliced RNA into discrete nuclear regions. In contrast, a 2.2-kb deletion of intron sequence resulted in a shift from discrete regions within the nucleus to a disperse signal throughout the cell, indicating that intron sequences, and not just splice sites, are required for the observed nuclear sequestration of unspliced viral RNA.
